Sorry, hadn`t the black cloth but wanted to see if the black background would indeed be the better choice. What cloth do you use to get is so deep black?
I tried black paper but it reflects too much und turns into grey.

The background in my BA Terminator picture is a dark greyish/black construction paper (I hope it's the right term for this kind of paper... it's basically just a bit thicker than normal paper) u usually get in any art and craft shop.

Thx, but it isn`t the velvety black seen with many of e.g. Nameless`or Ana`s pics. That has a nice effect.
BTW here the same hobgob with normal background and still problems with the face:

black t-shirt, blouse, skirt.. whatever you have at home. place it as the backround beyond the focus distance of your camera. try to avoid folds on the material.DAGabriel wrote:What cloth do you use to get is so deep black?

that should do the trick. if you want it even darker, use a software (GIMP, Photoshop)to correct levels. pick your black background as the black spot, software will adjust colours and make it truly black
I recommend finding a white spot as well on your photo to avoid making the pic too dark.

Re: Back to school
Back from painting workshop, two days building bases and trying OSL, i can`t see colors any longer!
And as usually nothing is finished, still a lot to do! The water effect will take ages and the underground part on the second base is nearly untouched.
